The document describes the benefits of Norton Quantum3 grinding wheels, which provide improved operator comfort, less grinding time, and longer wheel life compared to other grinding wheels. Specifically, the Quantum3 wheels reduce hand fatigue from less vibration during cutting, allow for sharper cutting that increases metal removal rates and reduces pressure needed, and have longer lifetimes requiring fewer wheel changes. Testing showed the Quantum3 wheels removed up to 70% more metal than competitors' wheels.

2. The perfect formulation
of market feedback,
our relentless
commitment to end-
user comfort and
a new infusion of technology
brings this distinctive range of
grinding wheels to the forefront.
The impressive cutting action doesn’t
compromise on comfort as it effortlessly bites
into metal. Norton Quantum3’s design delivers remarkable
power and refined control from start to finish. So you have
smooth cutting performance to remove metal much faster while
using fewer wheels for the job.
The quality of your work is a reflection of you. Norton is committed to helping you
achieve the best.
“Norton Quantum3 is tough enough to last and smooth enough to allow easier grinding.
Wheels that use a precision-shaped ceramic grain tend to have a different feel than the
Norton Quantum3 grain that tends to be more rounded rather than pointed which allows
a more robust, sharper cutting action for greater operator control. These wheels don’t
grab or dig when used in ANY direction. They simply glide through the workpiece while
removing metal. This also means the free cutting control can boost the amperage on
its own without additional pressure needed on the tool. Smoother feel. Better control.
Improved comfort.”

WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER
Your feedback gives us our greatest RD inspirations.
“Norton Quantum3 grinding wheels use a proprietary grain along with a tougher bond
system. The bond contains a unique combination of fillers and bonding agents that
allow for much better mix quality in manufacturing. The better mix keeps the individual
ceramic grains from clumping to one another for more even wear of the bond and
abrasive structure. It’s that homogeneous distribution of grain within the wheel and better
adhesion of the grain to bond that provides a faster grind for more metal removal, with
less pressure, to significantly increase production. It’s contaminate-free with 0.1% iron,
sulfur or chlorine for rust-free results.”

THE SCIENCE OF DESIGN
WE’VE JUST
RAISED THE BAR
AN INDUSTRY BENCHMARK
FOR 130 YEARS
When it comes to grinding, you and your operators
want the same thing – to complete the work as
fast as possible with highest quality results. You
want to do it at the lowest total cost, and operators
want to do it with more product power and less
personal effort. Norton Quantum3 gives you the
best of both worlds.
Years of innovation, now improved with
unprecedented grinding performance.
